Description:
Hammerless Sidelocks - These are a wonderful pair of 16-gauge Purdeys made in 1899. New barrels fitted by the maker in 1977 and proofed again in London in 1993 for 2 3/4". I am partial to the leaf style fences on Purdeys, as it adds another level of fine craftsmanship to these London Best guns. Note that the pair have a substantial amount of original case color remaining indicating they have seen very little use.

*These are a virtual bargain when compared to modern Purdey’s. At over 100 years old, they display and handle without refute. The #2 gun can be found under gun ID# 5852.

*I would like to point out this pair has excellent stock dimensions for many. For the tall pads could be added to achieve a LOP of up to 15 3/4". As a passionate upland hunter, I would like also to point out these guns are choked absolutely perfectly to put game limits in the bag! *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 5851 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
